Description

So, I'm 13. Me and my buddy are both really into gaming. I had a really bad computer (that I got for free), and for the past half year I've been saving up money to build a new one. My old computer specs are listed here:
i7-2600, DDR3-1333 8GB, Msi Nvidia Gtx 960 4gb, and some disgusting case that had ketchup and mustard cables.
All in all it was pretty garbage.
What worked well?
Things that worked well were everything, but the easiest part to put in was the ssd, which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G for the price.
Any Problems?
I actually did have a few problems. My buddy and I couldn't get all the screws in the stock cooler down because they got off sometimes. After like 20 minute of total stress we finally got it. The IO shield was a pain in the ***.
If you're wondering why the name it is because my lizard's name is Mushu and I put his plant in there as a prop because he recently passed. RIP.

CPU

Before I start, HUGE shout-out to my cousin Josh for sending me this CPU out of the kindness of his heart. So amazing. Okay, so I was able to overclock this CPU to 3.7 with no problem. The stock cooler is amazing but installation was a little wonky, maybe because it was my first time installing anything on a computer. Screwing it on was pretty hard to do and so was the lighting. To get green on the cooler's ring I had to set the rgb port in the bios to 255 red.
Anyways, this CPU is so amazing for the price. Definitely would use in a higher-mid-range build.

I love how you said you had a really bad system I’m 16 and stuck with an amd fx 430 that throttles, gtx 960 2gb! And a case with fans that barley spin so now saving for this bad boy https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LtdjLJ. I’m hoping to do streaming on this bad boy

Im 14 as well and I had a Pentium B960 laptop with 4 GBs of RAM but then I needed something more powerful for stuff like vm's, so I asked for money for my birthday and also did work and built Rainbow Zebra.

Morale of the story is hang in there and one day you will get an upgrade

Lmao. Thanks dude. If you're looking to upgrade then start saving whenever you can because it took me 6 months to have enough for this one, even when my cousin supplied me with a CPU, and my parents supplied me with a GPU on Christmas.
